Manage geotechnical projects and task schedules and budgets efficiently and effectively.
Provide oversight, guidance, direction and mentoring of junior technical staff, at a level consistent with your experience.
Grow technical expertise with the mindset of supporting the existing and future McElhanney business and Geotechnical team.

What You’ll Bring

University degree in Geotechnical/Geological Engineering or Civil Engineering with a geotechnical emphasis.
A minimum of 10 to 20 years of progressive experience in relevant geotechnical fields.
Strong fundamental knowledge of geotechnical design principles for civil infrastructure projects.
Candidates must possess a Professional Engineer (P.Eng.) registration in British Columbia (or be eligible).
Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with a demonstrated ability to build strong client and team relationships.
Project management skills, including budgeting, financial oversight, and schedule management.
Business development capabilities, including identifying and securing new work, building client relationships, and mentoring junior staff.

What Can We Offer You?
